THE  FERTILIZER  LAW. 

The  provisions  of  the  Connecticut  fertilizer  law  have  been  dis- 
cussed in  previous  reports  but  for  more  ready  reference  its 
essential  features  may  be  noted  here. 

Significance  of  the  Term  "Commercial  Fertilizers" 
Explaining  what  is  meant  by  the  term  "commercial  fertilizers" 
the  law  says : 

"The  term  'commercial  fertilizers'  shall  he  construed  to  mean  any  and 
every  substance  imported,  manufactured,  prepared  or  sold  for  fertilizing  or 
manuring  or  soil  amendment  purposes,  except  barnyard  manure  and  stable 
manure  which  have  not  been  artificially  treated  or  manipulated,  marl  and 
lime.  Cottonseed  meal,  rapeseed  meal,  castor  pomace  and  all  other  vege- 
table products  used  as  fertilizers,  including  the  ashes  of  cotton  hulls  and 
wood  ashes,  shall  be  included  as  fertilizers  within  the  meaning  of  this  act 
and  separate  analysis  fees  shall  be  paid  on  each  different  grade  which  is 
sold  or  offered  for  sale  in  the  state.  The  person  responsible  for  paying  the 
fees  above  prescribed  may  deduct  from  the  total  tonnage  sold  such  sales  of 
cottonseed  meal  or  other  vegetable  products  as  are  made  to  anyone  who 
gives  a  written  certificate  on  a  form  supplied  by  the  Connecticut  Agricul- 
tural Experiment  Station  stating  that  the  material  bought  by  him  was  to 
be  used  exclusively  for  feed  and  not  for  fertilizer." 

Concerning  Cottonseed  Meal. 

Cottonseed  meal  is  a  fertilizer  within  the  meaning  of  the  Statute 
but  it  is  provided  that  when  this  product  is  sold  for  feeding  pur- 
poses only,  it  shall  be  exempt  from  the  tonnage  tax.  When  sold 
as  a  feed,  cottonseed  meal  is  subject  to  registration  under  the 
terms  of  the  feed  law.  By  regulation,  however,  if  it  is  sold 
exclusively  as  a  fertilizer,  or  exclusively  as  a  feed  it  may  be  reg- 
istered but  once,  and  under  that  law  which  applies. 

The  status  of  cottonseed  meal  under  the  fertilizer  law  has  been 
clearly  stated  in  bulletin1  from  this  Station  from  which  the  fol- 
lowing may  be  quoted : 

Registration  and  analysis  fees.  "Each  brand  of  cottonseed  meal  must  be 
registered  on  forms  provided  by  this  Station  and  an  analysis  fee  of  ten 
dollars  paid  on  it  before  it  is  sold,  offered  or  exposed  for  sale,  and  on  the 
first  day  of  January  annually  thereafter." 

1  Bull,  of  Information  No.  9,  1919. 


4  CONNECTICUT  EXPERIMENT  STATION  BULLETIN   290 

"A  distinctive  name  constitutes  a  distinct  brand.  If  shipments  have 
different  guaranties  of  composition  they  are  held  to  be  different  brands." 

Branding  or  tagging.  "Since  nitrogen  is  the  only  fertilizer  ingredient 
considered  in  the  trade  in  cottonseed  meal  no  guaranty  of  phosphoric  acid 
or  potash  is  required.  If  either  is  guaranteed  by  the  manufacturer,  how- 
ever, an  additional  fee  of  ten  dollars  must  be  paid  on  each  element.  The 
statement  of  composition  now  legal  for  feeds  may  be  used  hereafter  if  the 
percentage  of  nitrogen  is  stated. 

"Note  that  the  law  regarding  feeding  stuffs  forbids  the  use  of  metal  in 
attaching  tags  and  requires  that  each  package  shall  be  branded  or  tagged 
with  the  statement  required  by  "law." 

Duties  of  shippers.  "It  is  assumed  from  correspondence  with  shippers 
outside  the  state  that  they  will  register  the  brands  which  they  sell  in 
Connecticut,  will  pay  analysis  fees  as  has  been  done  in  the  past  by  manu- 
facturers of  commercial  fertilizers,  and  will  semi-annually  thereafter  pay 
the  tonnage  fees. 

"They  will  report  to  this  Station  their  total  sales  and  if  they  wish,  may 
report  what  part  has  been  sold  for  feed  exclusively.  From  the  reports  of 
dealers  within  the  state  it  will  be  possible  to  determine  quite  closely  the 
amounts  of  each  brand  actually  used  as  feed. 

"In  the  case  the  jobber  outside  the  state  neglects  or  refuses  to  register  a 
brand,  the  dealer  who  sells  it  within  the  state  is  responsible  under  the  law." 

Duties  of  dealers.  "Dealers  are  required  to  file  with  the  director  of  the 
Station  on  July  first  of  each  year  and  semi-annually  thereafter  a  sworn 
statement  of  their  total  sales  of  each  brand  of  cottonseed  meal  and  the 
amount  of  each  sold  exclusively  for  feed,  during  the  preceding  six  months." 


Requirements  to  be  Complied  with  by  Sellers  of  Commer- 
cial Fertilizers. 

The  seller  is  responsible  for  the  proper  labeling  of  each  pack- 
age, for  the  registration  at  the  Station  of  every  brand  sold  by  him 
and  for  the  payment  of  the  analysis  fee,  before  offering  for  sale, 
and  annually  thereafter  on  January  1st. 

The  law  specifies  the  information  which  shall  be  given  on  the 
label  as  follows : 

1.  Weight  of  each  package  in  pounds. 

2.  Brand  name  or  trade  mark. 

3.  Analysis: 

(a)  Available  phosphoric  acid,  per  cent. 

(b)  Total  phosphoric  acid,  per  cent. 

(c)  Nitrogen,  per  cent. 

(d)  Equivalent  ammonia,  per  cent. 

(e)  Potash  soluble  in  water,  per  c^nt. 

4.  Name  and  address  of  the  manufacturer  or  of  the  person 
who  is  responsible  for  the  statement  of  the  guaranty. 

In  the  case  of  bone  meal,  tankage  or  other  organic  products,  and 
in  basic  slag  and  mineral  phosphates  in  which  a  large  percentage 
of  the  phosphoric  acid  is  not  available  by  laboratory  methods,  the 


FERTILIZER   LAW  5 

phosphoric  acid  shall  be  claimed  as  total  phosphoric  acid  unless 
it  is  desired  to  claim  available  phosphoric  acid  instead,  in  which 
case  the  guaranty  shall  take  the  form  set  forth  above. 

The  label  may  be  a  tag  attached  to  the  package  or  a  statement 
printed  thereon.    Percentages  shall  be  minimum  percentages  only. 

The  presence  of  leather  in  its  various  forms,  wool  waste,  hair, 
or  any  inert  nitrogenous  material  shall  be  declared  on  the  label 
unless,  by  processing,  the  activity  of  these  materials  has  been 
rendered  satisfactory  as  determined  by  official  methods. 

When  potash  is  derived  from  sulphate  or  carbonate  of  potash 
it  may  be  so  claimed. 

No  claim  or  guaranty  for  less  than  0.82  per  cent  of  nitrogen  or 
for  less  than  1  per  cent  of  phosphoric  acid,  or  for  less  than  1  per 
cent  of  potash  shall  be  regarded  in  the  registration  or  analysis  of 
any  commercial  fertilizer. 

The  seller  must  also,  on  the  1st  of  January  and  July,  report 
the  tonnage  of  fertilizer  sold  within  the  preceding  six  months  and 
pay  to  the  director  of  the  Station  a  tonnage  fee  of  6  cents  per  ton. 
On  request,  copies  of  the  law  and  blanks  for  registration  and 
for  tonnage  reports  will  be  supplied  by  the  Station. 

If,  however,  proper  labeling,  registration  and  payments  have 
been  provided  for  by  the  manufacturer  of  the  brands  or  by 
another  responsible  person  all  sellers  of  such  brands  are  released 
from  the  above  mentioned  requirements.  The  retailer,  therefore, 
should  assure  himself  that  the  requirements  of  the  law  have  been 
met  by  the  manufacturers  of  the  brands  which  he  handles,  or  him- 
self be  prepared  to  meet  all  these  requirements. 


Precautions  to  be  Observed  in  Drawing  Samples  for 
Analysis. 

The  analysis  of  a  fertilizer  is  of  no  value  unless  the  sample 
analyzed  represents  as  nearly  as  possible  the  stock  from  which  the 
sample  was  drawn.  The  law  prescribes  the  procedure  to  be  fol- 
lowed by  authorized  agents  of  this  Station  when  taking  official 
samples  for  analysis  as  follows : 

"When  samples  are  taken  from  fertilizers  in  bags,  a  tube  shall  be  used, 
and  it  shall  be  inserted  at  one  end  of  the  bag  and  shall  pass  substantially 
the  entire  length  of  the  bag,  so  as  to  take  a  core  of  the  material  being 
sampled  from  substantially  the  entire  length  of  the  bag.  Samples  thus 
taken  from  individual  bags  shall  be  thoroughly  mixed,  and  the  official 
samples  shall  be  taken  from  the  mixture  so  drawn  by  the  method  known 
as  'quartering.'  Samples  of  fertilizers  taken  as  herein  provided  shall  be 
taken  from  at  least  five  per  centum  of  the  separate  original  unopened 
packages  in  the  lot,  for  the  mixture  from  which  the  official  samples  shall 
be  taken.  If  less  than  one  hundred  bags  are  in  the  lot,  at  least  five  bags 
shall  be  sampled;  if  less  than  five  bags,  all  shall  be  sampled.  Broken 
packages  shall  not  be  sampled." 


CONNECTICUT  EXPERIMENT  STATION  BULLETIN   2QO 


Gratuitous  Analyses. 

Under  the  fertilizer  law  the  Station  is  charged  only  with  the 
analysis  of  samples  drawn  by  its  own  agents.  It  does,  however, 
each  year  analyze  a  considerable  number  of  samples  drawn  by 
individuals,  representing  stock  purchased  by  them  for  their  own 
use.  The  object  of  the  purchaser  is  to  satisfy  himself  as  to 
whether  he  has  obtained  goods  of  the  grade  represented  and, 
perhaps,  to  obtain  evidence  upon  which  to  base  a  claim  for  short- 
age should  the  materials  not  meet  their  guaranties.  The  Station 
assumes  no  responsibility  for  the  sampling  in  case  of  such  un- 
official samples  and  can  only  vouch  for  the  accuracy  of  the  results 
obtained  on  the  materials  as  submitted.  Since  a  representative 
sample  is  as  essential  as  an  accurate  analysis  in  judging  the  quality 
of  a  shipment  of  fertilizer,  it  is  evident  that  a  satisfactory  adjust- 
ment will  seldom  be  effected  on  the  basis  of  an  unofficial  sample. 
Notwithstanding  certain  objections  which  may  be  raised  to  the 
practice  of  analyzing  samples  submitted  by  individuals,  the  Sta- 
tion is  disposed  to  continue  such  work  so  long  as  there  is  evidence 
that  it  constitutes  a  useful  service.

I.     RAW   MATERIALS    CHIEFLY  VALUABLE  FOR 
NITROGEN. 

NITRATE  OF  SODA. 

Commercial  grades  of  nitrate  of  soda  contain  from  91  to  97 
per  cent  of  sodium  nitrate,  equivalent  to  from  15  to  16  per  cent 
of  nitrogen  or  18.2  to  19.5  per  cent  of  ammonia.  The  salt  may 
contain  also  small  amounts  (2  to  3  per  cent),  of  potassium  and 
magnesium  chlorides,  sodium  sulphate  and  sodium  iodide. 

Thirty-one  samples  were  analyzed  and  all  met  or  exceeded 
guaranties  so  far  as  guaranties  were  given.  Seventeen  were  sam- 
pled by  the  Station  agent  and  the  remainder  were  sampled  by 
purchasers. 

The  average  nitrogen  content  is  15.52  per  cent.  Prices  quoted 
ranged  from  $63.00  to  $80.00,  the  average  being  about  $68.00. 
Nitrogen  from  this  source  has  cost  about  21.9  cents  per  pound. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  I. 

SULPHATE  OF  AMMONIA. 

Ammonium  sulphate  is  chiefly  obtained  as  a  by-product  in 
the  manufacture  of  coke  and  illuminating  gas.  Commercial  grades 
of  this  material  contain  about  20.5  per  cent  of  nitrogen,  which 
is  equivalent  to  25  per  cent  of  ammonia.  It  also  may  contain 
from  y2  to  2  per  cent  of  moisture  and  a  little  free  sulphuric  acid 
(0.1  to  0.3  per  cent). 

Arcadian  sulphate  of  ammonia  is  specially  dried  and  screened 
to  remove  lumps  and  to  insure  good  distribution  when  applied. 
It  contains  less  than  }4  oi  1  per  cent  of  moisture  and  is  usually 
guaranteed  to  contain  20.75  Per  cent  of  nitrogen. 

Eight  samples  were  analyzed  and  all  exceeded  20.5  per  cent  of 
nitrogen,  the  average  being  20.67  Per  cent.  Only  one  ton  price 
was  quoted,  viz.,  $69.00,  at  which  the  cost  of  nitrogen  is  about 
16.7  cents  per  pound.

UREA. 


Urea  is  one  of  the  newer  ammoniates  and  is  made  synthetically 
in  Europe  on  a  considerable  scale.  It  is  a  white  crystalline  sub- 
stance and  the  grade  offered  for  fertilizer  purposes  contains  about 
45  per  cent  of  nitrogen  equivalent  to  55  per  cent  of  ammonia. 
In  a  pure  state  urea  contains  46.65  per  cent  of  nitrogen. 

One  sample,  6904,  was  analyzed.  It  was  taken  by  the  Station 
agent  from  stock  of  Olds  and  Whipple,  Hartford,  the  American 
agents  being  Kuttroff,  Pickhardt  and  Co.,  Inc.,  New  York.  The 
salt  was  guaranteed  to  contain  46  per  cent  of  nitrogen,  equivalent 
to  55.9  per  cent  of  ammonia,  and  was  found  to  contain  46.08  per 
cent  of  nitrogen  equivalent  to  55.94  per  cent  ammonia. 

Urea  leaves  no  residue  in  the  soil  and  it  said  to  equal  nitrate  of 
soda  in  availability.  Many  tests  are  being  made  in  this  and  other 
States  to  determine  the  value  of  this  material  for  fertilizer  pur- 
poses. 

NITRATE  OF  LIME. 

Nitrate  of  lime  or  calcium  nitrate  is  produced  by  combining 
lime  or  limestone  with  nitric  acid.  It  is  produced  in  large  quanti- 
ties in  Europe,  where  atmospheric  nitrogen  is  utilized  for  .he  pro- 
ducton  of  nitric  acid. 

The  salt  absorbs  moisture  to  such  an  extent  that  it  is  shipped  in 
drums  or  in  paper-lined  bags.  The  grade  offered  for  fertilizer 
purposes  contains  about  15.5  per  cent  of  nitrogen  equivalent  to 
18.8  per  cent  of  ammonia.  The  lime  (CaO),  content  is  about  30 
per  cent. 

Two  samples  were  examined. 

5836.  Purchased  by  the  Station  for  experimental  purposes. 
It  contained  15.52  per  cent  of  nitrogen  equivalent  to  18.87  Per 
cent  of  ammonia. 

6903.  Sampled  from  stock  of  Olds  and  Whipple,  Hartford; 
jobbers,  Kuttroff,  Pickhardt  and  Co.,  Inc.,  New  York.  The  nitro- 
gen found  was  15.26  per  cent,  equivalent  to  18.55  Per  cent  ammo- 
nia. It  was  sold  under  a  guaranty  of  15  per  cent  nitrogen,  18.2 
per  cent  ammonia.

CASTOR   POMACE. 

Castor  pomace  is  the  ground  residue  left  after  the  removal  of 
oil  from  the  castor  bean.  It  should  be  stored  out  of  reach  of 
farm  animals,  as  it  is  very  poisonous.  The  material  is  chiefly 
valuable  as  a  source  of  nitrogen,  although,  like  other  vegetable 
ammoniates,  cottonseed  meal  and  linseed  meal,  it  contains  small 
amounts  of  phosphoric  acid  and  potash. 

Seventy-four  samples  have  been  analyzed.  Fifteen  were  taken 
officially  by  the  Station  agent  and  the  remainder  were  sampled 
and  submitted  by  the  purchasers. 

The  material  was  found  to  be  of  very  satisfactory  quality,  only 
four  samples  showing  less  than  the  guaranteed  amount  of  nitro- 
gen, and  these  deficiencies  did  not  exceed  %.  of  i  per  cent.  These 
goods  are  generally  sold  on  a  guaranty  of  4.5  per  cent  of  nitrogen, 
and  the  average  nitrogen  for  all  the  samples  examined  is  4.80 
per  cent. 

Prices  quoted  have  ranged  from  $21.50  to  $30.00  per  ton,  which 
makes  the  cost  of  nitrogen  about  24  cents  per  pound. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  III.

COTTONSEED   AND  LINSEED   MEALS  2J 

COTTONSEED  MEAL. 

The  quality  of  cottonseed  meal  purchased  for  fertilizer  during 
the  year  is  shown  by  the  following  summary : 


Grade. 

36  per  cent  protein  (5.76  N.) 

41  per  cent  protein  (6.58  N.) 

43  per  cent  protein  (6.88  N.) 

No  guaranty  reported    

Total    

Of  one  hundred  and  thirty-one  samples  for  which  guaranties 
were  given,  one  hundred  and  nine  substantially  equalled  or  ex- 
ceeded their  guaranties  and  twenty-two  did  not. 

As  for  several  years  past,  most  of  the  samples  were  of  the  41 
per  cent  protein  grade. 

The  43  per  cent  grade  of  meal  was  the  only  one  of  the  three 
grades  to  show  any  substantial  overrun  in  nitrogen. 

In  the  last  four  years  the  nitrogen  content  of  the  three  grades 
of  meal  has  remained  fairly  uniform ;  however,  the  41  per  cent 
grade  has  shown  a  slight  but  constant  decrease. 

The  average  nitrogen  content  of  all  samples  is  6.61  per  cent, 
which  is  a  41  per  cent  protein  grade. 

So  far  as  ton  price  quotations  are  available  the  range  has  been 
from  $33.50  to  $45.00;  the  average,  based  on  67  quotations,  is 
$37.00.  The  cost  per  pound  of  nitrogen  is  27.8  cents,  which  is 
the  lowest  in  several  years. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  IV. 


LINSEED   MEAL. 

Eight  samples  of  linseed  meal  were  analyzed  and  all  were  of 
good  quality.  The  average  nitrogen  content  is  5.75  per  cent. 
The  average  of  seven  price  quotations  is  $47.00  and  the  cost  of 
nitrogen  from  this  source  has  been  about  41  cents  per  pound. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  IV.

II.     RAW  MATERIALS  CHIEFLY  VALUABLE  FOR 
PHOSPHORIC   ACID. 


PRECIPITATED  BONE  PHOSPHATE. 

This  material  is  a  by-product  in  the  manufacture  of  gelatin  and 
practically  all  of  the  phosphoric  acid  in  it  is  in  the  "available" 
form. 

Eight  samples  were  analyzed  and  all  were  of  good  quality,  al- 
though two  fell  a  little  short  of  their  guaranties. 

Available  phosphoric  acid  from  this  source  has  cost  about  5.6 
cents  per  pound  so  far  as  can  be  estimated  from  the  prices  quoted. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  V.

SUPERPHOSPHATE  37 

SUPERPHOSPHATE   (ACID   PHOSPHATE). 

This  important  raw  material  is  made  by  treating  finely  ground 
phosphate  rock  with  sulphuric  acid.  The  mixture  while  still  in  a 
fluid  condition  is  run  into  tanks  called  "hot  dens",  where  it  soon 
solidifies,  after  which  it  is  broken  up  and  pulverized  to  make  it 
suitable  for  use  in  fertilizer  mixtures. 

Superphosphate  is  a  mixture  of  calcium  phosphate  (soluble 
mono-calcium  phosphate),  and  calcium  sulphate  (gypsum).  It 
contains  16  per  cent  or  more  of  available  phosphoric  acid. 

Twenty-two  samples  were  analyzed  and  all  met  their  guaran- 
ties with  two  exceptions,  where  deficiencies  of  about  0.4  per  cent 
were  found. 

The  average  available  phosphoric  acid  found  this  year  is  16.87 
per  cent.  The  average  of  prices  quoted  is  $20.70  and  available 
acid  has  therefore  cost  about  6.2  cents  per  pound  in  this  raw 
material. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  VI.

III.     RAW  MATERIALS  CHIEFLY  VALUABLE 
FOR  POTASH. 

CARBONATE    OF   POTASH. 

The  commercial  grades  of  carbonate  of  potash  generally  con- 
tain from  60  to  65  per  cent  of  actual  potash  (K2O).  The  pure 
and  moisture-free  salt  contains  68.2  per  cent  K2O. 

Eleven  samples  of  this  material  were  analyzed,  three  of  these 
being  samples  taken  by  the  Station  agent  and  the  remainder  being 
sampled  and  sent  by  purchasers. 

The  official  samples  contained  well  over  65  per  cent  of  potash. 
Some  of  the  samples  submitted  by  purchasers  tested  somewhat 
under  60  per  cent.  The  dealers,  Apothecaries  Hall  Co.,  advise 
that  their  stock  was  purchased  on  a  guaranty  of  65  per  cent, 
but  for  resale  they  made  the  guaranty  61  per  cent  to  insure  a 
margin  of  safety.  The  low  results  are  explained  by  the  fact  that  the 
goods  as  sampled  contained  more  moisture  than  that  upon  which 
the  original  guaranty  was  based.  Potassium  carbonate  absorbs 
moisture  rather  readily  and  while  it  may  contain  as  little  as  1  per 
cent  or  less,  it  is  more  likely  to  contain  5  to  10  per  cent  as  the 
purchaser  receives  it.  However,  if  the  absorption  of  moisture 
takes  place  after  the  goods  are  packed  the  purchaser  is  not  de- 
frauded because  he  receives  all  the  potash  which  was  originally 
packed  but  in  a  somewhat  more  dilute  form. 

The  average  potash  content  in  the  samples  examined  is  63.8 
per  cent.  Price  quotations  are  so  limited  and  so  variable  that  an 
estimated  cost  per  pound  for  potash  is  not  very  informing.  Ac- 
cording to  valuations  which  we  have  used  this  year  11  cents  per 
pound  is  the  accepted  figure  for  potash  from  this  source. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  VII. 


MURIATE  OF  POTASH. 

Muriate  of  potash  in  commercial  grades  contains  about  50.5 
per  cent  of  actual  potash,  which  is  equivalent  to  about  80  per  cent 
pure  potassium  chloride.  Guaranties  for  potash  are  usually  placed 
at  48  to  50  per  cent.  The  Association  of  Official  Agricultural 
Chemists  has  accepted  tentatively  a  standard  of  not  less  than  48 
per  cent  potash  for  this  salt. 

The  nine  samples  examined  all  exceeded  their  guaranties  and 
the  average  potash  content  is  51.5  per  cent.  Potash  from  this 
source  has  cost  about  4.6  cents  per  pound  according  to  the  aver- 
age of  quoted  prices,  viz.,  $46.00. 

Analyses  are  ffiven  in  Table  VII. 


POTASH  SALTS,   ETC.  41 

SULPHATE  OF  POTASH. 

This  salt  usually  contains  about  48  per  cent  of  actual  potash 
as  offered  for  fertilizer  purposes. 

Twenty-two  samples  were  analyzed,  nine  of  which  were  offi- 
cially drawn  by  the  Station  agent.  All  samples  exceeded  their  guar- 
anties, and  the  average  potash  content  was  slightly  over  49.5  per 
cent.  The  cost  per  pound  of  potash  at  the  average  ton  price, 
$53.70,  is  5.4  cents. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  VII. 

SULPHATE  OF  POTASH-MAGNESIA. 

Only  two  samples  of  this  salt  were  analyzed  and  both  exceeded 
their  guaranties,  which  were  26  per  cent  potash  in  both  cases. 
Analyses  are  given  in  Table  VII. 

COTTONHULL  ASHES. 

Twelve  samples  of  cottonhull  ashes  have  been  analyzed.  This 
material  is  very  variable  in  composition,  the  potash  content  hav- 
ing ranged  from  less  than  10  per  cent  to  over  35  per  cent.  Last 
year  it  was  found  that  low  potash  was  associated  with  very  high 
phosphoric  acid  content,  about  30  per  cent. 

Analyses-  are  given  in  Table  VII. 

WOOD  ASHES. 

Canada  hard  wood  ashes  are  used  in  considerable  quantities  by 
tobacco  growers  in  this  State,  purchases  being  made  on  the  unit 
of  potash  basis.  Besides  potash  wood  ashes  contain  1  to  3  per 
cent  of  phosphoric  acid  and  30  per  cent  or  more  of  lime  (CaO). 

Fourteen  samples  were  analyzed  and  all  except  No.  7566 
were  of  good  quality.    Potash  ranged  from  4.6  to  over  7  per  cent. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  VII.

V.     RAW  MATERIALS  CONTAINING  NITROGEN 
AND  PHOSPHORIC  ACID. 

DRY  GROUND   FISH. 

Dry  ground  fish  or  fish  scrap  is  made  from  non-edible  fish,  such 
as  menhaden  and  dogfish,  and  the  offal  from  fish  canneries.  The 
fish  are  first  steamed  and  pressed  to  remove  oil  and  then  dried 
and  ground. 

Thirty-four  samples  were  analyzed,  nine  of  which  were  sampled 
by  the  Station  agent  and  the  remainder  sampled  and  submitted 
by  purchasers. 

Six  samples  showed  considerable  deficiencies  in  nitrogen.  The 
guaranties  for  phosphoric  acid  were  largely  exceeded  in  most 
cases,  but  slight  shortages  were  found  in  two  samples. 

The  average  nitrogen  content  found  in  this  material  this  year 
is  8.5  per  cent,  and  the  average  phosphoric  acid  content  is  6.8 
per  cent.  The  average  ton  price,  based  on  quotations  reported,  is 
about  $64.00.  Allowing  5  cents  per  pound  for  phosphoric  acid, 
the  cost  of  nitrogen  per  pound  has  been  about  33.6  cents. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  IX.

TANKAGE. 

This  material  is  meat  and  bone  refuse  from  various  sources. 
The  refuse  is  steamed  and  pressed  to  remove  fat  and  is  then  dried 
and  ground.  Its  composition  depends  upon  the  proportions  of 
meat  and  of  bone  which  are  present.  In  general,  5  per  cent  or 
less  of  nitrogen  and  15  per  cent  or  more  of  phosphoric  acid  indi- 
cate considerable  admixtures  of  bone.  High  grade  tankage  con- 
tains 8  to  10  per  cent  of  nitrogen  and  5  to  10  per  cent  of  phos- 
phoric acid. 

Garbage  tankage  is  of  much  less  value  as  a  fertilizer  and  con- 
tains usually  not  over  3.5  per  cent  of  nitrogen  and  not  over  5  per 
cent  of  phosphoric  acid. 

Eight  samples  of  meat  and  bone  tankage  were  analyzed  during 
the  year.  Two,  and  possibly  three,  of  them  were  essentially  bone 
tankage ;  the  remainder  were  high  in  nitrogen  and  relatively  low 
in  phosphoric  acid,  indicating  considerable  amounts  of  meat.  All 
met  the  guaranties  under  which  they  were  sold. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  X. 


GROUND  BONE. 

Thirty-seven  samples  of  ground  bone  were  analyzed.  Twenty- 
one  of  them  were  sampled  by  the  Station  agent  and  the  remainder 
were  sampled  and  submitted  by  the  dealers  or  purchasers. 

Of  the  official  samples  only  two  deficiencies  were  found,  one  in 
nitrogen  and  one  in  phosphoric  acid. 

The  average  composition  of  this  raw  material  this  year  based 
upon  analyses  of  all  samples  submitted  is  3.12  per  cent  of  nitrogen 
and  24  per  cent  of  phosphoric  acid. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  XI.

58  CONNECTICUT  EXPERIMENT  STATION  BULLETIN   2C)0 

The  A.  O.  A.  C.  Committee  on  Definitions  of  Terms  and  Inter- 
pretation of  Results  on  Fertilizers  urges  the  practice  of  including 
the  analysis  or  grade  of  fertilizer  as  a  part  of  the  brand  name 
thereof,  both  by  manufacturers  in  labelling  their  goods  and  by 
control  officials  in  reports  and  publications.  Accordingly,  in  our 
analyses  the  grade  is  given  following  the  brand  name,  and  for 
ready  comparison,  the  corresponding  items  in  the  analytical  re- 
sults are  given  in  bold  face  type. 

The  outstanding  facts  brought  out  by  the  inspection  this  year 
may  be  summarized  as  follows : 

Total  number  of  official  samples  analyzed  243 

Samples  considerably  deficient  in 

one  item   69 

two   items    8 

three  items   1 

total  samples  deficient 78 

Total  items  of  plant  food  guaranteed  (243  x  3)   729 

Total  items  found  deficient : 

ammonia    24 

available  P205  30 

potash    34        88 

Commercial  deficiencies  exceeding  $1.00  per  ton 7 

This  tabulated  statement  shows  that  one-third  of  the  total  num- 
ber of  samples  analyzed  were  deficient  in  one  or  more  of  the 
guaranteed  items  of  plant  food ;  but  that  less  than  four  per  cent 
were  deficient  in  more  than  one  of  such  items. 

Ammonia,  available  phosphoric  acid  and  potash  being  guaran- 
teed in  each  of  the  samples  analyzed  there  was  a  total  of  seven 
hundred  and  twenty-nine  guaranties  made,  of  which  number 
eighty-eight  were  short  by  considerable  amounts ;  in  other  words 
about  12  per  cent  of  the  guaranties  made  were  not  met  and  88 
per  cent  were  substantially  met  or  exceeded. 

The  distribution  of  deficiencies  is  about  equally  divided  between 
ammonia,  phosphoric  acid  and  potash.  The  deficiencies  in  the 
most  expensive  ingredient  (ammonia),  were  fewest  in  number. 

Shortages  in  money  value  in  excess  of  $1.00  per  ton  have  been 
found  in  only  seven  samples,  which  is  less  than  3  per  cent  of  the 
total  number. 

However,  guaranties  required  by  law  are  minimum  guaranties 
in  all  cases  and  purchasers  are  not  altogether  satisfied  when 
only  about  two-thirds  of  the  samples  examined  in  an  official  in- 
spection meet  these  conditions.  With  all  due  allowance  for  ana- 
lytical differences  which  may  occur  between  industrial  and  con- 
trol laboratories,  it  would  seem,  nevertheless,  that  a  greater  num- 
ber of  samples  should  be  found  which  meet  guaranties  in  all  re- 
spects.

Concerning  Deficient  Samples. 

The  following  brands  show  deficiencies  in  money  value  in  ex- 
cess of  $1.00  per  ton.  the  approximate  amount  being  arrived  at 
by  balancing  overruns  against  shortages  and  reckoning  ammonia 
at  20  cents,  available  phosphoric  acid  at  5^  cents,  and  potash  at 
5  cents  per  pound.

"  See  comment  below. 

3  Second  sample  not  deficient. 

Sample  7435,  U.  S.  Guano  Co.  4-8-10  shows  a  large  shortage 
in  ammonia  and  also  in  potash.  The  analysis  shows  that  this 
stock  was  nearer  a  2-8-10  grade  than  a  4-8-10  and  suggested  a 
possible  mistake  in  our  sample  inasmuch  as  2-8-10  goods  were 
in  stock  at  the  place  of  sampling.  Another  sample  could  not  be 
secured,  but  an  examination  of  the  inspector's  records  showed  no 
error;  and  an  examination  of  the  empty  sacks  at  the  purchaser's 
farm  showed  that  the  markings  were  clear  and  not  likely  to  be 
confused.  The  grade  4-8-10  was  plainly  marked,  and  in  the  case 
of  the  2-8-10  goods  the  grade  did  not  appear  at  all,  but  the 
brand  name  "Mammoth  Potato  Grower"  was  given.  We  could 
only  conclude  that  2-8-10  goods  were  packed  in  bags  marked 
4-8-10  by  mistake;  but  in  any  event  there  was  a  substantial  de- 
ficiency in  potash. 

Commercial  Deficiencies  for  a  Period  of  Years. 

In  a  system  of  inspection  where  many  brands  are  represented 
by  single  analyses  the  products  of  the  several  manufacturers 
may  not  be  fairly  evaluated  in  any  one  year.  Although  it  is  our 
purpose  to  examine  at  least  two  samples  of  any  brand  showing 
considerable  deficiencies,  a  second  sample  is  not  always  obtainable. 
Comparisons  are  more  informing,  therefore,  if  made  upon  data 
covering  a  period  of  years.  A  number  of  different  bases  might 
be  chosen  for  such  comparisons,  but  since  it  has  been  our  practice 
for  many  years  to  cite  brands  in  which  commercial  deficiencies 
amount  to  one  dollar  or  more  per  ton.  these  data  have  been  com-

piled  for  the  7-year  period  1921-1927,  and  are  tabulated  in  Table 
XIV.  No  manufacturer  is  included  unless  ten  or  more  samples 
have  been  analyzed  in  the  period  covered.  The  compilation  shows 
that  of  a  total  of  over  1600  samples  analyzed  less  than  10  per 
cent  have  fallen  short  of  guaranties  to  any  considerable  extent 
in  commercial  value.  Or,  in  other  words,  purchasers  have  received 
commercial  values  represented  by  the  guaranties  in  over  90  per 
cent  of  purchases  made.

New  England  Standard  Nine. 

The  nine  fertilizer  grades  chosen  as  adequate  for  all  agricul- 
tural needs  in  New  England  have  been  represented  in  the  inspec- 
tion this  year  as  shown  in  the  accompanying  summary :

Total    105 

In  no  year  since  the  standard  nine  was  selected  has  the  num- 
ber of  samples  taken  in  official  inspection  and  falling  in  these  re- 
spective grades  equalled  one-half  of  the  total  number  of  samples 
drawn.  We  are  unable  to  say  what  proportion  of  the  total  ton- 
nage is  represented  in  these  nine  grades. 

Quality  of  Insoluble  Organic  Nitrogen. 

Examination  of  the  insoluble  organic  nitrogen  in  mixed  ferti- 
lizers this  year  has  shown  no  conclusive  evidence  of  inferior  am- 
moniates.

SPECIAL  MIXTURES  AND  HOME  MIXTURES. 

A  considerable  number  of  samples  of  this  type  of  fertilizers 
are  examined  each  year  for  individual  purchasers  or  others  inter- 
ested. For  the  most  part  such  samples  are  drawn  and  submitted 
by  the  persons  interested,  in  which  case  the  Station  is  responsible 
only  for  the  analyis  of  the  material  as  received.  The  Station 
agent  does  sample  such  stock  in  some  instances  upon  request  of 
purchasers. 

Thirty-nine  samples  in  this  group  have  been  analyzed  during 
the  year  and  the  results  are  given  in  Table  XV. 


VIII.     MISCELLANEOUS  FERTILIZERS,  AMEND- 
MENTS AND  OTHER  MATERIALS. 

SHEEP    MANURE,    ETC. 

Seventeen  samples  of  sheep  manure  and  other  farm  manures 
were  analyzed.  While  such  materials  do  not  contain  large  amounts 
of  plant  food  (about  130  pounds  to  the  ton  usually),  they  have 
some  further  agricultural  value  as  amendments  and  as  culture 
media  for  soil  bacteria. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  XVI. 


LIME. 

Twenty-one  samples  of  liming  materials  have  been  analyzed 
during  the  year.  Samples  have  been  drawn  and  submitted  largely 
by  purchasers.  Lime  is  not  classed  as  a  fertilizer  under  the  fer- 
tilizer law  of  this  State  and  no  registration  is  required. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  XVII.

OTHER  MISCELLANEOUS  MATERIALS. 

Thirty-four  samples  of  miscellaneous  materials  have  been  exam- 
ined for  fertilizer  ingredients,  and  are  summarized  in  the  follow- 
ing Table,  XVIII. 

COLLABORATIVE  WORK. 

The  laboratory  has  continued  to  collaborate  in  the  check  meal 
program  of  the  American  Oil  Chemists'  Society,  and  in  a  similar 
program  of  check  fertilizer  analyses  sponsored  by  the  F.  S.  Roys- 
ter  Guano  Co.  Thirty  samples  of  cottonseed  meal  were  analyzed 
for  nitrogen;  and  twelve  samples  of  mixed  fertilizers  were  ana- 
lyzed for  nitrogen,  phosphoric  acid  and  potash.
